During S Period on Monday 1/10, students who are interested in being in the cast of our spring musical 42nd Street should attend an audition workshop in the PAC. Students interested in performing in the pit orchestra should contact me, and check out the pit info page on the blog. Pit rehearsals will start Monday, January 24 from 7-9.
Students who missed last Friday will need to make up the listening assignment. We will also be doing our listening journals this Friday as well. During the first semester, there were almost 20 students with grades between 88% and 89.9%. Most of those students were missing either one or more listening journal entries or the Live Review.
